We enjoyed a long weekend in this hotel. It's located centrally so a great place to stay in the center of Rotterdam. Nice and clean rooms. Staff is very friendly and it gives good value for money. Breakfast is all fresh made and lovely but it can take some time before you get it.  

Leuk eenvoudig hotel

Stayed here for 2 nights. The first thing to note is that it is just a room, very basic, a bed, table and chair. WC and shower shared with other guests. It wasn't too busy when I stayed so there were no problems with sharing. Secondly, the staircase is very narrow and steep, especially if your room is on the top floor. If you only have a backpack/rucksack it's ok, not so if you have suitcases. The check-in is through the restaurant but this only opens at 4pm on some days, though you can use your room keycard to access the side door 24 hours a day. The good points are its location, about 15 minutes from the main station, Metro nearby and trams running nearby as well, so easy to get around. The bed was good, I had two nights good sleep, so no complaints there. Towels are provided. A nice touch is that each room has a name (mine was Rosalie). In conclusion, a good place if you just want somewhere to spend the night while exploring the area, but beware the stairs.

Good location

Stayed overnight here with my grandsons during our trip to Kinderdijk .. its the nearest city to reach the windmills.. via waterbus . You might miss it though when you look for it coz the rooms are upstairs of a restaurant.. though theres a separate entrance at the side but then their front desk is also the restaurant counter ! 
My first to encounter such .. however the staff are friendly and accomodating and very helpful especially if the tourist center staff  arent that friendly ( unluckily encountered 1 grumpy staff at the train station ! ) . 
The food is superb ! 
The rooms have themes.. we had the David Room .. however the toilet and shower room is outside your room ( its common to the other guests on the same floor with you... ie 3 guest rooms ).
To those who just need a good cozy  place to sleep in and have good food .. this is it ! 

Cozy Bed and Good Food 

Firstly, the hotel is located in a nice area and sight-seeing areas are in easy walking distance. The staff are also friendly. The entrance is not completely obvious; you have to enter through the restaurant. 

I was surprised on arrival to find that the bathroom was shared, but I suppose this was not advertised properly on the booking website I used. We were on the top floor so it was quiet, but it was not good for having to walk up and downstairs to speak to the reception. Unfortunately it had been raining all day and our room was freezing. We had to go downstairs to ask for the heating to be turned on and was told it would turn on later. Waited a few hours. So late at night the heating was still not on, tried to call the number for reception advertised several times and no answer, which is not great. Had to walk down a lot of flight of stairs to be told the heating won't come on due to the city (?). Didn't really understand what this meant. There was a spare duvet in the room but no cover. Was then told there was no spare cover to put on the duvet either so just had a thin duvet to keep us warm. So after a day out in the cold, we had to sleep in a cold room. Really not impressed about this as we both became ill, and for the price we paid I expect at least a warm room. 

There was no hand towel/ hand dryer of any sort in the bathroom and the toilet roll ran out and was not replaced. There was some sort of very loud building work that woke us up from 8am. The lighting in the room was also very weak. Check out was very casual and we were not asked how our stay was. I wouldn't stay here again.

Nice place but cold!

As a female solo traveller, the main thing that stuck out to me here was the fact that there was no staff present overnight. They began their morning shifts at 8am, meaning if anything happened overnight, well, there was no member of staff to help. It is not a hostel for travellers; theres no common room or anything like you would expect in a hostel. The place was incredibly run down and the corridors unclean. As bad as it sounds, and I do not want to be offensive, i must admit  it felt more like a place for those facing homelessness than for those travelling. I didn’t feel at ease there at all. Would highly recommend you find somewhere else to stay, and not to be fooled by the cheap prices.

No Staff Present Overnight.

They ripped us off. They overcharged my credit card by 37€ and never gave us a refund. We had booked through Hostelworld who told us that we’d pay 82 upon arrival but the hostel just decided to deduct more than that.  The reception never picks up. Apparently the place was bought up by Chinese and it is being remodelled. If you would like to stay here I’d recommend to wait at least until August 2022 because when we went there was no reception, no staff to help, nothing. Service is terrible therefore. Cleanliness is mediocre and the place smells terrible. Very dingy. Don’t stay here, stay in a proper hostel instead. Only good thing is location.

Ripped us off

The room we booked was very small and definitely not worth the money. No private toilet and shower, only shared. These were not clean. Very cold in the hallway. I would definitely not recommend this hotel room.

However, the location was great and the people who worked there were nice. I think for people who are looking for a hostel and don't have high standards, this can be a nice place.

Very small room for a very high price

We spent two nights at this ‘family hotel’. The website looked okay and the photos of the rooms were nice. However, photos do not capture sounds and smells...
It turned out it is a hostal. With loud tourists and thin walls & doors. The carpet was dirty and in the stair case it smelled rather unpleasant.
